Preface
“Listen to the patient. He is telling you the diagnosis.”
-William Osler
True to its stature as an Institute of National Importance, JIPMER attracts students, residents, nurses, technicians and faculty from different states in India and Tamil is not the mother tongue for a good number of them. Effective communication is essential for any meaningful interaction between the patient and his family with the care givers and this is best achieved when both are speaking a common language, preferably the patients’ mother tongue. Recognizing this fact the Department of Medical Education brought out the first manual entitled “Tamil for Clinical Students” in 2001.
Due to the significantly expanding training and patient care services with addition of many new departments the number of non-Tamil speaking students, residents and faculty joining the institute has exponentially increased. This felt need is utilized by the Department of Medical Education to bring out the second manual entitled, “Tamil for Medicos” for easy learning of Tamil by non-Tamil speakers.
The manual provides English transliteration of commonly used Tamil words and phrases in doctor-patient interaction. The Tamil translation is provided with Tamil words spelled in English alphabets, thus obviating the need for learning Tamil script and also making it useful for anyone who knows English, irrespective of his/her mother tongue. We congratulate and thank Smt. Kalpana Sampath, Nursing Sister, Nephrology ward, who is the main contributor for this manual and for her involvement, interest and empathetic attitude towards welfare of patients and medicos.
We take this opportunity to thank Dr. T.S. Ravikumar, Director, JIPMER for his encouragement and support in bringing out this publication.
We are sure this manual which was developed based on the experience of the actual stakeholders will prove to be a boon to students/residents/faculty of JIPMER and for all others joining JIPMER in days to come.
Valuable suggestions, errors in the manual and additions required for updating the manual is highly welcome which can be sent to [email protected].
